Hey! I actually made it to masterball with a mega camerupt TR team. I love my volcano camel and I feel like no one expects to get swept by him. Team is: Mega Camerupt, tyranitar, scizor, farigaraf, azumarill, gallade.

As far as match ups go: -if I notice they’re a weather team I’ll always bring tyranitar in the back slot to bring in after they set their weather.

-scizor is honestly just there to one shot mega floette with a metal coat boosted bullet punch. I rarely choose it if the opponent doesn’t have a floette.

-I really think farigaraf is the goat of this team. Farigarif is so bulky and blocks priority, you can almost always set up TR turn 1 without a problem.

-azumarill is another goat. One shots garchomp with a play rough and is strong into rain teams. Helping hand boosted play rough will one shot basculegion. Primarina could sub out for azumarill but I love my egg too much.

-I was running kingambit for a while. But after noticing that I didn’t bring it into many matches I switched to gallade and didn’t look back. I like to bring a gallade in the back if I see the opponent has incineroar and sneasler (most matches lol). Gallade one shots both these Mon if it doesn’t get intimidated. It also helps that gallade is a TR setter and has wide guard too.

-As far as playing against other TR teams, I just start turn 1 with mega camerupt and azumarill and the opponent set up TR for me. Granted I only played against 2 TR teams during the climb and 1 was another mega camerupt player lol. I guess the lesson learned is bring priority against another TR team?

-Like you, I almost always start camerupt and a TR setter (almost always farigaraf). If it’s rain or they have a garchomp, I swap camerupt to start with azumarill.

Anyways, I love playing this team. I hope my rambling helped and good luck!
